Fight Cyber Crime with Splunk, Cisco, and Red Hat

Overview: The cost of cyber crime across the globe has already grown to $100 billion
annually, not counting the intangible damage to enterprise and government
security. In addition to the data loss and security breach, there is immeasurable,
and sometimes irrevocable, damage to the brand.

Analyzing machine data from firewalls and perimeter devices in real time to
thwart - and predict - threats is the only defense for most institutions. However,
the amount of data to be stored and analyzed results in prohibitive cost when
constrained by the rigidity of proprietary storage platforms.

In addition, the lack of granularity in the machine data analytics available to IT
and security administrators results in too much data and not enough
information. This puts enterprises at great risk especially considering the
regulatory compliance mandates on security.
